Omarosa Manigault reportedly attempted to enter Trump's residence and had to be escorted out by Secret Service

After Omarosa Manigault Newman was dramatically fired
from her White House position on Tuesday, the former
"Apprentice" villain reportedly attempted to enter the White
House residence.

Newman, who is reportedly close with President Donald
Trump but disliked by others in the White House, was escorted
from the White House grounds by Secret Service.

The former reality TV star protested her dismissal,
reportedly using vulgar language with chief of staff John
Kelly, who fired her.

After Omarosa Manigault Newman was
dramatically fired from her White House position on Tuesday
by chief of staff John Kelly, the former "Apprentice" villain
reportedly attempted to enter the White House residence to speak
with President Donald Trump, only to be escorted from the grounds
by Secret Service agents.

Newman reportedly protested her dismissal, bringing up her
efforts to recruit black voters to support Trump during the
election and her relationships with historically black colleges
and universities.

"During that altercation with General Kelly, Omarosa said that
she had brought the black vote to President Trump," Ryan said in
a Wednesday radio
report. "General Kelly said, 'No, that is not the case.'"

Kelly also reportedly told Newman, who is one of the president's
best known black supporters, that Johnathan Holifield, the newly
appointed head of the White House Initiative on HBCUs, "doesn't
like" her.

Newman then reportedly told Kelly that she wanted to speak with
the president about the decision, but Kelly reportedly responded
that Trump had already been informed and had signed off on the
firing. Ryan's sources told her that Newman used vulgar language,
cursing at Kelly, and then walked over to the president's
residence and "tried to get in."

"General Kelly was called back," Ryan reported. "Secret Service
stopped her, and she was escorted off campus."

Newman's assistant was reportedly also let go.

Newman's role had recently come under scrutiny in the media, with
reports suggesting her position was vague and undefined - a
point of frustration for her colleagues. She struggled to develop
functioning relationships between the Trump administration and
black lawmakers and communities, and has a history of sparking
workplace drama.

In June, the Congressional Black Caucus rejected an offer
extended by Newman to meet with the president, arguing that the
caucus had "seen no evidence that your Administration acted on
our calls for action, and we have in fact witnessed steps that
will affirmatively hurt Black communities."

And Newman is
reportedly disliked by many in the Trump administration,
including Kelly and Trump's son-in-law and top adviser Jared
Kushner.

In a Wednesday statement, White House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders announced that Newman resigned on Tuesday "to
pursue other opportunities" and that her official last day will
be January 20.

This is not the first time Newman has been dismissed from a White
House position. The Howard University graduate served both under
Vice President Al Gore and President Bill Clinton when she was in
her early 20s and was fired from the Commerce Department under
the Clinton administration.

Another Clinton staffer, Cheryl Shavers,
told People magazine earlier this year that Newman "was asked
to leave as quickly as possible, she was so disruptive," adding,
"One woman wanted to slug her."
